PLEASE Stop Saying Juzz Up!

LavernLuvsShoes — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 21:13:00 GMT

I'm not sure how to even spell it, but if I hear one more host or vendor say "Juzz Up the Sleeves" I think my head will explode!!!

Petty? - Probably, but it just grates on my last nerve.

What happened to simply saying PUSH the sleeves of the shirt, top, dress, jacket, etc. up?

OK, I feel better, now that I got that off my chest.

Zhush. It's a verb that means the same as primp or rejuvenate.

First time I remember hearing that was years ago when Lisa Robertson used it in her Christmas shows while demonstrating how to rejuvenate decorations. I admit to using it every Christmas and DD and GD have picked up on it too. Never heard it used for anything else.

I always thought Carson Kressley started the phrase on "Q*eer Eye". That's where I first heard it.

@LavernLuvsShoes It's silly. It just mean push the sleeves up.

DH and I first heard this phrase YEARS ago on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy and Carson was the one who used to say it!

No matter how you spell it, it is a way of life for me! Can't stand long sleeves on my arms. Weird? OK. But I can always zhush them up.

I learn a lot on these Boards. Never heard it before, can't even pronounce it so I won't even try. Does nothing for me but I will push up my sleeves when needed.

@LavernLuvsShoes I agree. I'll stick with "push up the sleeves." The first time I ever heard it used was when SK used it. I had no idea what it meant.

@geezerette @Love my grandkids . Yes...this is definitely a Carson Kressley moment. His influence was picked up by the hosts on QVC.

Totally agree...It's Petty!

With so much tragedy going on, fussing over a silly phrase does seem like a worthless complaint.

@RespectLife I agree...I try to helpful and kind when I come here to post as I am acutely aware of the current critical nature of our country. We all need a reprieve from the turmoil. I share your sentiments and wishing you the best.

Many years ago there was a hairdresser named "SAMMY" who sold his hair products on HSN. He always said JUZZ it up when styling hair. Later I heard it referenced to pushing sleeves up. I think it is to make a presentation more lively. Never gave It a second thought.

First time I heard it was it was spoken by Susan Graver. Now almost all the female hosts use it.

Lisa Robertson's favorite was "pop the collar>'

There are many terms or phrases the hosts use that drive me nuts....so I no longer watch. Problem solved.
